for those at the roundup yesterday.you saw a project that took all i had to keep under wraps for a month.for those that didnt make it.here it is.something ive wanted to do for some time, but could never find one pricedreasonably to test.after staring at the pics for the past month i like the look better then the old one. and have already started planning out next years look.

I am glad you posted, Diane went around and took pictures of the cars and owners. Somehow yours got missed.

It is going to have a great look to it, can't wait till I see it painted.

I was looking at that 1 pic where yours is on the end.I could tell something was up but couldnt really figure it out.That looks pretty damn good.NOWWhats the overall plan. Match the nost to the body or body to the nose?Your pretty talented with this stuff. I'm impressed

I like the color combo you were talking about at the roundup. I think it'll look killer.

And like I said before, if you told me you were going to do this before, I woulda thought it wouldn't work. But it does. I wouldn't of believed it. You got rid of all the ugly RMS parts and stuck the nose on a nice body. I diggit! Mucho props!

this is the color im leaning toward right now.hot rod flatz- speed blueif the roadmaster side trim works i will paint it gloss black kinda like this.and i may do just the roof.candy apple green over silver metallic base.with airbrush work on the silver before the green goes on.and the wheels will be gloss black.
